Volkswagen has been fined one billion euros (RM4.7 billion) over diesel emissions from the company's cars, according to Reuters.

The latest billion-dollar fine follows the car-maker being found guilty for similar offences in the U.S., where VW agreed to pay $US4.3 billion ($A5.7b) to resolve both a criminal and civil charge. "Volkswagen is committed to its responsibility for the diesel crisis and sees this as another important step to its management", it said in a statement.

Volkswagen's diesel emission scandal started back in September 2015, and it's still ongoing today.

In the spiralling scandal, Germany ordered Monday the recall of some 774,000 Daimler vehicles across Europe, citing illegal defeat devices.

This had led to 10.7 million cars "being advertised, sold to customers and placed on the market with an impermissible software function" in the US, Canada and worldwide between mid-2007 and 2015, the company said.

VW shares closed 0.1 percent higher at 159.78 euros.

Finance chief Frank Witter will update investors on August 1 on the implications of the fine for the carmaker's cash position, alongside its second-quarter results, VW said.

"The fact that the criminal risk has now been dealt with is good news", said Arndt Ellinghorst, an analyst with Evercore ISI.
